 {Plus Three }
Essential classics for your jewelry box
By Judy Finman

S
uppose you were asked to choose five indispensable pieces of
jewelry? Not many women can narrow down their favorites
to only five baubles.
Gail Kanemoto Hogsett of Walters & Hogsett Fine Jewelers in
Boulder (2425 Canyon Blvd., Boulder, 303.449.2626,
www.waltersandhogsett.com) offers her nominations for the Big Five
jewelry classics: diamond stud earrings, pearl strand, hoop earrings,
classic watch, and right-hand ring.
“Fine jewelry can make you feel feminine, confident and
successful,” she says. “Generation after generation, these
jewelry pieces have been must-haves for a woman’s
jewelry wardrobe. Each generation may have had a
variation on the theme, but the classics have
basically remained the same. Within each
category, choose pieces to show off a touch of
your personality.”
Diamond stud earrings range from prong-
set to full-bezel. “The sparkle of a diamond
is perfect from blue jeans to elegant formal
wear,” Hogsett says. Earring jackets add
versatility by changing earring styles.
“Pearl strands vary from irregular shapes
to classic rounds in white South Sea, Chinese
freshwater or black Tahitian. Pearls can be worn
short, long, knotted or layered. The diverse
variety of pearls allows you to express your
personality and style.”
Hoop earrings take many forms, from hinged
earrings that hug the lobe to hoops in every
diameter. “Hoop earrings are flirtatious and so
fashionable; there are hoops that sizzle with diamonds
or basic hoops in gold or silver. There are hoops at
every price range.”
Hogsett describes a classic watch: “A fine
timepiece is more than something that just tells time
– it’s a beautiful piece of jewelry.”
The right-hand ring may be “a simple precious-
metal ring with no stones, to glittery diamonds or
beautiful colored gemstones. The right hand has
tremendous potential to express your style.”
But what about bracelets, gold-chain necklaces, and other
popular classics or near-classics? Hogsett gives them their due:
“Long chain necklaces, in gold, in sterling, or overlay metals, are
another must-have in today’s fashions. Choose a 36-inch to 40-inch
chain, and layer with pearls, beads or other chains, or simply double it
for great versatility.
“A diamond or gemstone bracelet, a charm bracelet, an entire
stack of bangles or a single bracelet to snug up to your watch – they’re
all fabulous accessories for your wrists.
“Left-hand rings aren’t limited only to brides. Rings with luscious
colored gemstones, pearls or even diamonds are worn not only on the
ring finger, but the middle or index finger.”
So five plus three makes a lucky number – and a lucky woman.

 Jazzercise: It’s still going strong!
By Judy Finman
W
hen Mary Davis
tells people she
owns Boulder
Jazzercise Fitness Center (5290
Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, 303.530.9154,
www.boulderjazzfitnesscenter.com),
they often quip, Oh, is
Jazzercise still around?
“I’m trying to get rid of that
old Jazzercise image, when
people were wearing leotards
and dance tights,” Davis says.
Today, Jazzercise has a catalogue
of workout clothes, called
Jazzertogs; and Cheryl Burke,
two-time champion of Dancing
with the Stars, is the official
Jazzercise spokesperson. “Some
of her studios do Jazzercise,”
Davis says.
It’s true that the Jazzercise
dance fitness program was born
in a bygone era, 40 years ago.
Since 1969, people of all ages
and fitness levels have reaped its
benefits. It combines elements of
jazz dance, resistance training,
Pilates, yoga, kickboxing and
more to create programs for
people of every age and fitness
level. It increases muscle tone,
flexibility, balance, strength and
endurance, using easy-to-follow
movements.
Each 60-minute class follows
an exertion curve. Following a
warm-up segment is the cardio
portion, dancing through high-
energy aerobic routines that
strengthen the heart and lungs,
increase endurance, decrease
stress, and burn calories.
Next comes muscle
strengthening and toning,
emphasizing specific muscles by
using hand-held weights or
resistance wraps. At the end of
each class, the cool-down stretch
segment helps elongate muscles
to increase flexibility, and return
the heart rate to normal.
“People love Jazzercise,”
Davis says. “In these 40 years
trendy things have come along.
They haven’t lasted, but we
have. Jazzercise has 8,500
franchises worldwide. Our
6 July 10, 2010
choreography is fantastic, and
we use music that’s on the radio
now, sung by popular singers.
Every 10 weeks we receive
around 30 new songs. We have
a slower version for seniors,
another for youth. We have
different formats for body
sculpting. We may use hand
weights or tubes. We get new
routines all the time. I think
women like to dance – and
most of our members are
women. Our founder was a
professional dancer.”
When kickboxing came in, a
little of it was added to the
routines. “Pilates and yoga were
always integral to our routines.
Ours is really choreographed –
we do jazz, rock, country, Latin
and more. Ours has more
variety of movement. The
choreography is consistent in
all Jazzercise studios; we have
strict quality control.”
Besides its fitness
aspects, Jazzercise is life
enhancing. “There’s a
lot of support,
camaraderie and
friendships. It’s not
intimidating; you
don’t need to be
a size 2.
People are
comfortable
there in
their
bodies.”
Most of the
members are
women ages
35 to 65 and a
few younger
college
students.
Friends
introduced
Davis to
Jazzercise
when she
was in
Women’s Magazine.
college. The instructor recruited
her to become an instructor and
owner. She bought a franchise 22
years ago.
Today Davis trains and
certifies instructors for Colorado,
Wyoming and Montana.
Instructors take, among other
classes, a physiology exam
certified by the Aerobics and
Fitness Association of America.
All instructors and franchise
owners are certified in the
Jazzercise method. “It’s all very
structured, according to the
American College of Sports
Medicine.” Because of Jazzercise,
Davis earned a doctorate in
physical therapy; she was
interested in helping people with
the dancing, modifying it where
necessary. “There’s a lot of work
behind the scenes to learn
to do the choreography;
it is modified for
different levels of
students for safety.”
What the
members say
The studio
has about 150
active members.
“We don’t ask for a
big commitment.
We offer a month-to-
month with a monthly
price of $38. Or you
can do eight weeks for
$92. Or you can drop
in for $12. If you are
a first-timer, it’s free.
We like to give back
to the community.
We just did a
fundraiser for Back
in the Swing –
women recovering
from breast
cancer.”
Jerry
Enright of
Boulder has been doing
Jazzercise since 1988. “I enjoy
the program for the aerobic,
dance and strength components
as well as the variety of changing
elements. I have used not only
weights, but also the step, slide
and bands as well as the ball as
part of the program. The classes
are fun and interesting with new
songs and routines that change
regularly. The instructors are
trained well and all have their
own style and personality that
lends a unique element to each
class. I have been to other aerobic
classes in Denver and Boulder
and none come close to what
Jazzercise offers in terms of
quality of the instructors and
classes. Jazzercise can be done
year round, rain, sun or snow. It
is a good complement to other
sports and activities.”
His wife Isabel has attended
classes since 1995 and enjoys the
classes, instructors and
environment.
“People are greeted by their
name in a comfortable and
personal manner,” Enright says.
“I have never felt uncomfortable
attending as the only male in the
class. It is a great and fun way
to start a day. It has my full and
unqualified endorsement.”
Suzy Williamson of
Longmont is a new Jazzercise
member. “I love Jazzercise
because it reminds me to dance.
I think we forget to dance as we
get older. Work, kids, life gets in
the way. I’m always running,
cycling, swimming, hiking and
doing yoga, but Jazzercise is
different, it’s joyful. It is a great,
fast workout incorporating
aerobic activity, weights and
floor exercises. It’s so much fun
to work out with the music, and
I think learning new routines
adds an extra mental dimension
to my workout. It may seem
crazy to drive to Boulder from
Longmont for an hour workout,
but it’s just that good and that
much fun.”

Tips on pairing
beer with food:
Beer goes well with just
about any grilled entrée. For
successful pairings, match
“strong with strong”
(“strength” in beer can mean
high alcohol, high hop
bitterness, heavy sweetness,
or big roastiness) especially
for spicier, smokier dishes.
Lighten up on the beer
when you’re serving more
delicate fare.
Consider complementing
(i.e., a spicy-hoppy beer with
a spicy dish, a smoked beer
with barbecue, or a malty
amber ale with a caramelized
dish) or contrasting (i.e., a
malty-sweet barleywine with
strong blue cheese).
Experts recommend beers
with higher amounts of
carbonation for fried or spicy
foods because the
carbonation “cuts” through
the fat and “resets” your
palate after each bite.
Beer also goes great with
dessert. Try a strong stout
with chocolate truffles or
chocolate cake. Or pair a
Belgian framboise (raspberry)
lambic with cheesecake.
And don’t overlook the
local products! Boulder
County offers the full
spectrum of craft beers for
your discovery.

few simple habits can help us
stay healthy and ready to
enjoy all the fun.
Boulder Community
Hospital’s family practitioner
Jill Siegfried, M.D. offers
these tips for keeping your
family healthy this summer.
One
Get adequate sleep.
“People are more active,
which means that they also

great time to consider
replacing that old mattress,
as well. “A good mattress is
important year-round, of
course, but people are much
more active in the
summertime,” says Rhonda
Hermsen of Boulder
Comforts (3003 Walnut St.,
Boulder, 303.444.4411,
www.foamsource.com), “and
they really appreciate a good
night’s rest even more.”
The company offers both

need more downtime,” Dr.
Siegried cautions. While the
actual amount of sleep we
need varies from individual
to individual, the National
Sleep Foundation
recommends that school-age
children get 10 to 11 hours
each night; teenagers need
eight to nine hours and
adults should get seven to
nine hours.
Two
Stay hydrated.
Remember to drink
plenty of water, and drink
before you get thirsty. Our
bodies are over 60 percent
water, and we need to stay
hydrated to stay healthy.
Start and end your day with
an eight-ounce glass of water.
How much water do you
need? The standard has been
eight, 8-ounce glasses each
Women’s Magazine.
explains the difference:
“There’s nothing else out
there like memory foam,” she
says. “It uniquely conforms
to your body’s contours,
which relieves the pressure
points that can interfere with
your sleep. Some people
really like it, but it’s not for
everybody.
“Our latex mattresses are
hypoallergenic and made
from natural rubber. People
really like the purity of latex.
There’s pure wool in the
mattress as well, and the
day, but your needs will vary
based on body weight and
level of activity.
Three
Connect, and reconnect.
Dr. Siegfried advises us to
“enjoy spending time and
reconnecting with friends
and family. Get outside, go
to a park. Boulder has great
outside places to visit.” Find
a special moment to relax,
contemplate and slow down
the pace a bit.
Four
Protect yourself from the sun.
Wear protective gear,
including hats with broad
brims and sunglasses (look
for “UV 400” or “100-
percent UV protection” on
the label to ensure the
cover is made of organic
cotton. There are no
petrochemicals used in the
manufacturing. Parents buy
these for their children for
the health aspect. We also
make crib mattresses,
cushions, pillows and bean
bag chairs.”
If your current mattress is
still serving you well,
Hermsen suggests simply
adding a latex or wool
mattress topper; you’ll get a
lot of the benefits at a
fraction of the price.
protection you need). Apply
sunscreen on exposed skin.
“At our high altitudes, you
need to remember to apply,
then reapply the sunscreen as
needed to be sure it’s
providing adequate
protection,” Dr. Siegfried
says. “This applies to
waterproof sports screens
as well.”
Five
Eat four to five servings
of healthy fruits and

 Real Fitness Coaching
By Judy Finman
R
eal Fitness
Coaching in
Boulder is the
brainchild of Sarah Eley,
personal trainer and nutrition
expert extraordinaire. “If your
goal is to lose weight and stay
healthy and fit, we offer you a
real solution,” Eley says. “You
will get results with us.”
Real Fitness Coaching
focuses on its members’ long-
term goals. Eley and her staff of
trainers work individually with
clients as part of a small group
to create a healthy lifestyle. The
program includes life coaching,
fitness and nutrition.
Eley received a nutrition
degree from University of
Vermont in Burlington and
became a certified personal
trainer. She moved to Boulder
in 2005. “I picked Boulder
because it was like Burlington –
a college town with outdoor
activities. They’re similar, but
Boulder has better weather and
more going on.”
Her Real Fitness Coaching
members train in a studio
located inside HealthStyles
Exercise Equipment Store,
2434 Arapahoe Ave., between
Joann Crafts and the Boulder
BikeSmith, in the Arapahoe
Village Center. Both men and
women train out of this semi-
private studio, which is
equipped with a shower and
changing rooms. Eley is
looking for her own space and
hopes to move in by late
summer.
A few years ago, Eley gained
some strategic advice at a
conference in California: train
two or three people at a time.
The benefits were enticing: each
client would be on his or her
own customized program, and
they would get to work out
with one another and not have
to do it alone. “I was able to
bring the price down for people
in these hard times,” says Eley.
womensmag.com
“And it’s better, because with
other people there, each student
gets better results.”
So this approach became
her business model. “It’s more
of a community feel,” says
Eley. And that is her special
trademark and one way she
differs from other personal
trainers. “The reason I’m in
this business is that sense of
community and giving people
support and encouragement. In
one-on-one training, clients
just deal with the trainer; it’s a
small world. The way I do it is
to connect them with other
members. People interact and
motivate one another. A lot
gets shared.”
Real Fitness Coaching also
offers its members free group
classes, a circuit workout for
45 minutes.
Women’s Magazine.
Nutrition and
Business Expertise
Eley gives free nutrition
talks for her members. Three or
four times a year she runs an
eight-week nutrition class every
Tuesday morning, starting again
in September. It’s about eating
right, taking care of oneself, and
emotional readiness for change
– important factors in long-
term success.
She also offers free talks in the
community on various topics –
like a recent one to Women
Entrepreneurs on how to get your
business and body in summer
shape. “I love talking about
business and goal setting; it helps
you to stay the course. Another
topic is ‘The Power of Why.’
Why are we in the business we’re
in? If you communicate the
reasons why to your customers,
you are more effective.”
She notes: “I’ve made
community a big thing in my
business. I see that many people
are working in isolation. So I
established a community for
people who want to be healthy,
fit, and in shape.”
Eley doesn’t do “training
sessions,” as most trainers do,
but rather offers memberships of
three months or one year in
length; 98 percent of her clients
choose the one-year. “It’s
optimal to be supported for a
year at least. We’re focused on
lasting change.”
The “action goal” is a
method Eley employs to help
motivate her members. “We
create an action goal along with
a reward. For example, the
member commits to exercising
for at least 30 minutes two times
per week for four weeks, for a
total of eight workouts. Reward
yourself with something like a
new book, a cd, a new item of
clothing, or whatever you like;
it’s best not to use food as a
reward. Make a simple chart,
track your progress, and when
you reach your goal, give
yourself the reward! It’s a simple
tool, yet it helps all my members
stay motivated and on track.”
A 30-Day Trial
Membership
Everyone who is considering
joining the Real Fitness
Coaching club is given the
option of a 30-Days-for-$89
trial membership, which
includes an individualized
program design, a Functional
Movement Screening and
evaluation, four semi-private
training sessions, and unlimited
group classes. It’s a great way to
try it out.

 Powerful You!
is in Boulder County
By Judy Finman
“I
don’t know
what I’d do
without my
women friends.,” says Wendy
Kerr of Longmont, a member of
Boulder County Powerful You!
Many women feel as Kerr
does, and that’s the principle
guiding Powerful You!, a
national organization of women
helping and empowering women
in all aspects of their business
and personal lives.
The Boulder County
chapter began in August 2007,
with Rose Chamberlain of
Longmont as the catalyst. A
friend had introduced her to the
national Powerful You!
organization. “When I looked at
the kind of women’s support
and networking it offered, with
gratitude a part of it, it matched
what I felt other groups lacked,”
Chamberlain says. “It’s for
building relationships, rather
than just passing leads. And it’s
inclusive rather than exclusive;
that is, there can be three
Realtors, for example, rather
than being limited to just one.”
Kerr attended that first
meeting of the local group.
Certified as a Christian life
coach, Kerr worked for seven
years in substance abuse
programs, speaking in schools.
Today she calls herself “a
freelance volunteer.”
“My business coach suggested
Powerful You! was a great place to
meet other women in business,
entrepreneurs. It’s been a learning
experience for me to talk with
others and build relationships,
which networking is all about. It
was my introduction to
networking,” Kerr says.
“The mission, the vision of
Powerful You! struck a deep
chord in me. It’s not just about
business; it’s more about the
heart and soul of a person,
supporting each other in
business and life, and the amazing
gratitude that everyone shared. I
loved it just as a woman, meeting
other women and making
friends.” When
Chamberlain “It’s more

meeting. Some women are going
through personal problems or
business decisions – other
women have suggestions. It’s an
opportunity for people to be
vulnerable. Since I’ve been
facilitating, I see a powerful
connection between the women.
Changes can be gradual; I see
small changes along the way.”
Julie Bosworth has been
co-facilitator with Kerr and
continues in that role. Judy
Pfeifer is her new co-facilitator.
“I went to the first meeting, too,
and joined then,” Bosworth
says. “It was different from any
networking group. They call it
networking with a heart.”
A University of Colorado
alumna, Bosworth moved back
to Boulder in 1989. She is an
independent broker who helps
people with long-term care
insurance. She has gotten one
client and a few referrals from
Powerful You! acquaintances.
“It’s a great venue for
business, personal and spiritual
growth. Some other networking
groups just exchange business
cards. There are leads groups
that ask you to refer them,
though you don’t really know
them. Here people get to know
me, trust me, and refer me.”
Bosworth itemizes some of
the benefits of joining: “It’s
more than just a traditional
networking
meeting.
Relationships are
formed. It’s not just
business, personal or
industry-specific,
like many other
organizations. It’s a
national network,
and you can get
your own profile, or
an article, on the
Powerful You!
national Web site.
There are free telemarketing
meetings, one per month. You
network with women all over
the country.”
“I love it,” Bosworth says.
“Our group is small. I’d like to
build it but don’t want it to be
too large. It would be good to
have more women.”
How It Works
The group meets at the
Boulder Cork once a month for
two hours, including lunch.
There are no requirements to be
accepted for membership. The
cost to join is $125 for an
entrepreneur or corporate
member; $65 a year for a
nonprofit member.
Nonmembers may come to a
lunch meeting and pay $35.
Every month the meeting
covers 30-second member
“commercials,” a business
networking tip, announcements
of relevant community events, a
business discussion topic – like
dealing with other people, or
marketing. “It’s a problem-
solving time, a growth and
success and gratitude share,”
Kerr says. “One woman shares
the great new things that are
happening in her business. It’s
an eclectic group, with all types
of businesses. We never have
enough time.”
Bosworth says, “The
members speak in-depth about
their business for 20 minutes.
Also, we have outside speakers
talk about business, the power of
social media, the power of
intention, wellness, etc. At the
end of the meeting we each
share what we’re grateful for.”
A brand-new tool is Mini-
Mastermind. For 10 minutes
you can talk about where you
need advice or help in some area
of your life. People contribute
ideas – and get something from
it themselves.
“What I’ve gotten out of
Powerful You! is friendship and
personal growth,” says
Chamberlain. “I have started my
own marketing and networking
business. Powerful You! has a lot
of materials to help you with
your business. It’s a great
organization because it
empowers women.”
Powerful You! is active in 14
states. Cofounders Sue Urda and
Kathy Fyler are successful
entrepreneurs with more than
one venture to their credit. They
started Powerful You! in 2004 as
a way to serve women in
business, to contribute to the
professional, personal and
spiritual growth of women,
assisting entrepreneurs to realize
their goals.
Urda and Fyler will be on a
national tour, Transformation
2010, and will appear in
Boulder some time in
September (date to be
determined). See the local Web
site for more information, or

Bring a pop of color

Wearing a bright-colored
necklace or scarf is the easiest
way to attract attention to your

grown in six years from an
audience of 5,000 to 16,400.

Kathy Beeck explains the
sisters’ motivation: “Robin is a
filmmaker who has won 13
awards. We traveled to film
festivals around the world. We
have lived in Boulder for 35
years and thought it was a
perfect place for a film festival.
“We took all the best
elements we saw and brought
them to the Boulder Festival.
The first festival was in February
2005; 5,000 people showed up

many volunteers, in-kind donors
and individual donors – a lot of
supporters. We have held it
every year since then over

much fun.

be channeled instead to food
banks. “So a local community-
action organization came and
spoke to the film audience about
how to help, how people can get
involved in the community. We
showed 10 such films this year
that brought in local
organizations.”
“Step up and make a
difference.”
L. Hunter Lovins is
president and founder of
Natural Capitalism Solutions, a
nonprofit that educates
businesses, governments and
others about the principles of
environmental sustainability.
Lovins has consulted for
businesses and organizations
locally and globally, including
University of Colorado-Boulder,
City of Boulder, Royal Dutch
Shell, Walmart, the Pentagon,
Environmental Protection
Agency, and the governments of
Jamaica, Australia and
Afghanistan. She was co-
founder of Rocky Mountain
Institute in Snowmass. Co-
author of 12 books and
hundreds of papers, Lovins was
also named Time Magazine
2000 Hero for the Planet.
She is not only an
environmentalist, but also a
savvy businesswoman who sees
the connection between
successful business outcomes
and environmental sustainability.
What motivated her to
pursue this work? “My parents

believed you should leave the
world a better place. They were
activists: My mother organized
in the coalfields of West Virginia
with John L. Lewis; my father
helped to mentor Martin King
and Cesar Chavez. I grew up
being taught to believe that I
could make a difference and that
I had a responsibility to do so. I
worked with Dave Brower, the
first executive director of the
Sierra Club, and he was a
mentor of mine. I was
surrounded by people who said,

ecosystem. Failure will confine
most people to a miserable
future. There is a solid business
case for solving our
environmental problems. If we
don’t fix the unsustainability,
we’ll have financial collapse, too.
The worst performing
companies had no one in charge
of sustainability. The companies
that take sustainability seriously
are prospering.
“Quality of life is an issue,
too. My friend, the folk singer
Kate Wolf, said: Find what you
really care about and live a life
that shows it. People say, But
what can I do? One individual
can step up.”
“I see improvement
in the world.”
Virginia McConnell
founded Boulder Friends of
UNICEF and has worked for
many years with the U.S. Fund
for UNICEF. She raises funds to
provide food, access to clean
water, safety from the effects of
war, housing, healthcare, and
education for the most
vulnerable children of the world.
“I’ve always been interested
in the development of children.
I have an M.A. degree in Early
Childhood Development,” says
this mother of five children. “I
read about the condition of the
world’s children and do what I
can to help them.”
In her quest to raise money
for and awareness of the world’s
neediest children, she has
started a number of other
programs as well.
McConnell founded the
Boulder County CROP Walk in
1986. Over the past 23 years
this event has raised $500,000
to feed the hungry people of the
world, most of them children.
“We keep 1 percent of the fund
to use for advocacy. Or you can
earmark your contribution to
UNICEF all for feeding.”
When Halloween rolled
around, “Trick or Treat was
already under way; a dentist was
doing it. We got the collection
boxes out.”
She got the minefields
program to be associated with
UNICEF. “We combined forces.
I got the Denver group
involved. We did a lot to raise
funds: a karate marathon, dinner
parties where guests had to
experience a simulated
minefield.” She was on the UN
board, representing UNICEF.
“We could make a difference.”
McConnell raised funds for
the School-in-a-Box program,
kits that can be used for
teaching young children even
where there are no school
buildings. “They can gather
children under a tree to learn.”
What does she see as
important about the work she is
doing? “Have people aware and
interested in the world’s children
and help them.”
She is optimistic. “I see
improvement in the world.”

“Without actions, there
are no miracles.”
Marta Moreno co-founded
El Comite de Longmont in 1980,
after the killing of two young
Latino men by Longmont police
officers. Tensions were running
high in the Latino community.
To quell the growing dissent and
achieve better relations among the
police, government and
community of Longmont and the
Latino population, Moreno and
other Latino leaders formed the
nonprofit El Comite de Longmont.
The organization empowers
the Latino community to
advocate for social justice,
education and economic status
in Boulder County. El Comite
works with the Longmont Police
Department to achieve good
working relations and positive
community policing with the
Latino community; runs classes
for parents who want to help
their children excel in school;
partners with Catholic Charities
to hold citizenship workshops
for applicants of all countries;
organizes voter registration
drives to empower more Latinos;
and more.
“When the incident
happened, it was necessary to
have lines of communication
and understanding,” Moreno
explains. “I was one of the
founders. We came together to
be the negotiators. We work
with people from many
countries; they don’t know how
to navigate a new system, so
they need interpreting,
translating, advocacy. We work
with these people to remove
their fears, help them to become
self-sufficient. It became a place
for them to come.
“It’s helping people; we can
all work together and help one
another. It’s our right and
obligation to do this. We can
always be role models to
everybody. Without actions,
there are no miracles. We can be
part of the change and do
what’s right.” Marta Moreno

In 1995 the Boulder Chamber’s Business Women’s
Leadership Group (BWLG) noticed that all of the local awards
ceremonies were honoring only men. It then occurred to them
that there was a very distinctive void when it came to
recognizing the women of Boulder County for contributions they
have made to the community. In the time-honored tradition of
women, the BWLG decided that if they wanted something they
would have to do it themselves – thus the Women Who Light
the Community awards luncheon was created.
Recommendations were sought as to whom they should
honor; a group of four very deserving women was settled
upon; and the event was launched.
Over the last 15 years, the process has changed only
slightly with the ebb and flow of time. Somewhere along the
way a nomination form was created with specific criteria that
the nominators must address.
Most nominations are submitted electronically these days,
although hand-written notes on lovely stationary are still
submitted thanks to the Daily Camera’s publication of the
nomination form.
A committee of 12 reviews the nominations, discusses the
material, and selects four to five incredible women to
recognize. There is no elaborate grading system, no hard and
fast rules that dictate why one and not the other. For the most
part, the committee gets together and combs the pile of
submissions. Each member gets the opportunity to vote for
four nominees and state why she made these selections.
After some time is spent justifying one choice over another, the
final honorees are settled upon. If there is a fifth candidate that
simply cannot be eliminated, then five women are honored.
The choice is never easy and the pool from which these
honorees are chosen is always filled with amazing women who
do incredible things with seemingly endless energy. You
cannot help but to be inspired and to revel in the goodwill and
the joy of being in the presence of greatness.
The Business Women’s Leadership Group is a council of the Boulder
Chamber that provides the community of businesswomen with
education, leadership, recognition and business opportunities through
informative and professional programs. For 2010, the BLWG focus is on
abundance – creating it, maintaining it, and enjoying it.

 Relationship Resuscitation
Having fun and moving forward
By Lulu Tupper
W
e hear plenty
about
relationships on
the edge. First dates and
blushing brides are all the rage.
Rage is also quite popular;
breaking up may be hard to
do, but it’s apparently
fascinating to watch.
There must be some
noteworthy material in the
middle, that place where
romance runs headlong into
the day-to-day details of life.
What happens when we find
ourselves in the middle of
wedded blah instead of bliss?
I decided to consult with
someone on the front lines of
relationship repair: Holly
Widmar, a licensed clinical
social worker and therapist at
Full Circle Counseling
(608 Main St., Louisville,
303.803.5853).
Speak and listen up
“This isn’t rocket science,”
says Widmar with a laugh.
“But communication is one of
the hardest things couples face.”
When you’re the one doing
the communicating, be clear
about what you want. Keep it
simple and direct. Say “I want
to go to the museum today,”
instead of asking a leading
question (“What do you feel
like doing?”) and hoping your
partner comes up with the
right answer.
“It’s hard to get what you
want when you don’t ask,”
explains Widmar.
When you’re on the
listening end, focus on really
hearing what your partner has
to say. Don’t look for implied
meanings or read into their
tone of voice. Just listen.

 Adding beauty to
the heart of your home:
By Kristen Sotelo
G
one are the days of
divided living spaces
in the home. The
kitchen is quickly becoming the
heart of every home, whether
you cook or not.
People tend to congregate
where the food is, and the
kitchen is where you’ll most
often find your guests when
they visit.
Is your kitchen warm and
inviting? Does it speak to your
personal style? Or is it old
and tired?
Any drab or outdated
kitchen can be dramatically
revitalized with some exciting
updates.
Your budget and personal
priorities will determine the
best way to add beauty to
your kitchen.
First decide what is most
important to you: storage space,
“wow” factor, color, or function.
Take a look at the following
ideas and make your own
priority list.
Flooring can be the most
important part of a kitchen
because it can set the room
apart or connect it to the rest
of the home.
“Wood brings a warm and
cozy feeling into kitchen and
dining areas,” says Sherri
Harrison, owner of
FloorCrafters Hardwood
Floor Company (1501 Lee
Hill Road, #1, Boulder,
303.449.3084,
www.floorcrafters.com). Wood
such as Brazilian Cherry can
offer a dark, rich look, while
prefinished wood floors can offer
styles like “hand scraped” for a
more budget friendly option.
Wood is also a softer product, so
your feet will be happier.
Natural stones such as
Onyx, Soapstone, Travertine,
Marble and Granite are where
Mother Nature shows her true
colors. Each slab is unique and
beautiful in drastically different
ways. “I let the customer pick
the artwork, then I transform it
into their counters,” says Steve
Hood, owner of Paragon
Granite & Marble (14136
Valley Drive, Longmont,
970.535.0473,
www.paragon-granite.com). If
you are looking for a more eco-
friendly alternative, products
such as Ice Stone are made
using recycled materials like
glass and sea shells.
Cabinetry is the largest part
of your kitchen, and generally
takes the most wear and tear.
When considering replacing
your cabinetry, first think about
how you work in the kitchen:
Are you left or right handed?
Do you have three sets of
china, or a plethora of pots
and pans?
Wellborn Cabinet’s
kitchen and bath cabinets are
proundly crafted in America
and are know for quality
craftmanship. You may have
even seen them in HGTV’s
Dream Home Giveaway. The
company has several lines that
allow you to create your own
dream kitchen. Visit
wellborn.com for great ideas.
Today’s kitchen can be all
you want it to be. Enjoy the
opportunity to explore the
variety of materials, styles and
colors available to you.
Kristen Sotelo is an
independent Kitchen and
Bath Designer. Contact her

Wilshire Red Cambria
from Paragon Granite & Marble
Cambria is pure natural quartz that
adds beauty to any kitchen. Variations in
the stone’s color, pattern, size, shape and
shade are inherent and they contribute to
the product’s uniqueness. Color blotches
are intended and designed into many
colors to enhance the natural beauty.
Kalahari from Paragon Granite & Marble
Granite is one of the most durable materials available.
When properly sealed, granite counter tops will maintain a
beautiful shiny luster for a lifetime.
Granite can have different finishes. A polished finish on
the stone has a glossy surface that reflects light and
emphasizes the color and marking of the material. A honed
finish creates a satin-smooth surface with relatively little light
reflection. There are also a variety of finishes that add texture
to the stone such as leathered, antiqued and river washed.

skin resurfacing treatments for
the active person desiring great
results with minimal down time.
Bridge Therapy includes Active
FX™, Deep FX™ and Total FX™
treatments performed with an
UltraPulse Encore CO2 laser,
considered the gold standard
for laser skin resurfacing. Unlike
other fractional CO2 laser
treatments, the combination
of Active FX™ and Deep FX™
allows the doctor to choose the
volume of skin to be treated,
therefore tailoring the treatment
to each client’s needs for the best
possible result.
